With a pout on her lips, Irene carefully placed the two glasses of juices that she prepared atop their coffee table; one for Syra and one for Aileen. She also brought some chocolate chips with her and served them in a fancy-looking plater.
Meanwhile, Aileen let out an exasperated sigh before she started to speak.
"Syra, as much as we wanted to give you back the money that you are asking for, we can no longer do that. We already used them up."
Syra furrowed her brows upon hearing that, but she decided against speaking right away and she let the other party finished what she was saying.
